feat: add experimental support for parsing fragment arguments

[JoviDeCroock]

This is a rebase of #3847

This implements execution of Fragment Arguments, and more specifically visiting, parsing and printing of fragment-spreads with arguments and fragment definitions with variables, as described by the spec changes in graphql/graphql-spec#1010. There are a few amendments in terms of execution and keying the fragment-spreads, these are reflected in mjmahone/graphql-spec#3

The purpose is to be able to independently review all the moving parts, the stacked PR's will contain mentions of open feedback that was present at the time.

• execution changes
• TypeInfo changes
• TODO: validation changes

Thank you for rebasing the syntax changes! This looks correct to me.

I'm not sure whether we need the full stack of changes up before merging any of the changes: I'd be surprised if the syntax changes need to be modified due to the validation or execution changes.

This update is probably worth bringing to the graphql-wg this week: https://github.com/graphql/graphql-wg/blob/main/agendas/2024/02-Feb/01-wg-primary.md

@mjmahone worth bringing up that the PR is up, or should that be for the graphql-js wg? Not entirely sure 😅

The implementation in this branch passes tests but uses UNSET. However, there's an alternative here: JoviDeCroock@1ee3f42, which has some updated tests.

Basically, the spec proposal uses CoerceArgumentValues (which itself is used in CoerceFieldArgumentValues, which isn't reflected in graphql-js since the spec conflates two different data structures), which is in turn used in ArgumentsFromSpread.

The spec then uses versions of spreadArgumentValues / argumentValues, i.e. a version of “variables” only for the fragment variable definitions, and keeps the variableValues separate. Since CoerceArgumentValues is reused, we should raise an error in CollectFields (via the former) for invalid values (e.g. undefined on non-defaulting non-null fields), which is reflected in the linked commit.

I think it's worth adding a 5-10 minute dicussion item to the WG meeting this thursday https://github.com/graphql/graphql-wg/blob/main/agendas/2024/02-Feb/01-wg-primary.md

I don't think that is true anymore? I think @JoviDeCroock removed all the UNSET hacks from this PR (they might still exist in the executor changes). It also looks like graphql-js #4015 no longer uses the UNSET hack.

We should definitely ship the graphql-js changes that most closely match the changes to the spec itself, and the UNSET hack does not match the spec changes from Spec #1081 , but this looks like the parser changes are in a reasonably good state right now to my eyes!

[JoviDeCroock]

@mjmahone yeah it doesn't use it it's just the parser. The execution PR also uses the new spec text

[JoviDeCroock]

@graphql/graphql-js-reviewers is there anything missing to move this and the linked PR's forward?

[nandorojo]

So excited for this! Let me know if you want any help testing it in a real app.
